Range fire - Faxon Firearms ARAK-21 Complete Upper Receiver

I forgot to give a review after going to the range a few months ago.

I've never experienced such a monotonous set of instructions for a barrel break-in. Honestly, I dont understand Faxon's logic behind its break-in requirements. But, they are the engineers.

The upper is monolithic, so it has a little weight. But that weight makes recoil feel almost nonexistent. Extremely smooth action. This is the luxury sport of piston uppers. Not a single malfunction. Did I mention how smooth the action is and how light the recoil feels? You can control your sight picture during rapid fire as if it were a roller delayed action.

The upper did get quite warm at the end portion of the handguard that sits over the gas block. But, if you wear shooting gloves, it's not an issue.

If you are considering the ARAK as your next piston purchase, do it! I can't say enough about how well manufactured and how well this upper functions.

The next review will be how it runs suppressed.
